Crystal clear but deep golden color for this 10yr-old beauty. It remibds me of a wonderful clear jewel. Clear legs quickly form and drip on the edge while bigger, slow dripping legs continue to form and drop and repeat for several minutes.
The nose is clean with pronounced intensity. If blind tasted, it could pass as a red wine. There is olive and minerality and slight bitterness and slight MA with slight chalk and asparagus, caramel bacon grease and alcohol on the nose.
The palate is dry with high acid, full body and is very, very smooth. I got slight graphite, mushroom gin, candy apple and nutiness and pecan.
Finish = 1min 10secs
Lemon, honey, minerality, yeast, wet rock, grass, chalkboard, meatiness, mineral water...
Conclusion: The first day was a bit of a letdown. But on day-2 it lived up to its reputation, coming back with avengance. So smooth, so flavorful, so BEAUTIFUL! Mount Eden Vineyards never dissapoints - It will remain my favorite!

(2127 views) | | | Tasted by swillpower on 6/4/2014: A bit more toast than I expected, but still balanced. A might short, but a good price for a Chardonnay with some sophistication. (3260 views) | | | Tasted by kosinski on 5/6/2014: Aroma: wet stone and oyster shell with notes of spice and honey. Palate: lime and minerals with saline notes. Not as austere as a Chablis, but in the same vein. Excellent complexity and structure and good length. Very good. (3133 views) | | | Tasted by Life At Your Leisure 🍷 on 12/22/2013 & rated 88 points: Golden yellow color brimming at the rim with a buttery nose of vanilla and green apples. The body is full and velvety with a palate displaying green apple, lime, candle wax, and white rose petals. Finishes long and sublime with a hint of minerals. Drink now until 2018. (2752 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 12/8/2013 & rated 90 points: Cafe Pinot: Viscous, generous; rich fruity mouth with tree fruit and tropical notes with a good dose of vanilla oak. Well made, but this is not a subtle wine. (1644 views) | | | Tasted by petenich on 7/20/2013 & rated 90 points: Nice level of acid and good finish. Think the price point is about right. Approve. (2214 views) | | | Tasted by affordableCollector on 3/1/2013 & rated 90 points: clear, golden in color. lavender, citrus, apple, vanilla, on the nose. delicious aroma. citrus, dried fruit, vanilla, floral, oak, on the palate. high acid on this enjoyable finish. (1891 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 2/2/2013 & rated 86 points: Light golden color; wow- butter screaming from the glass along with quince, ripe pear, popcorn, vanilla, a hint of smoke, and almost a tropical fruit spectrum; completely fat and rich on the palate with a milky texture and a medium length finish. Personally not a fan of the style. (2521 views) | | | Tasted by juneau bob on 12/25/2012 & rated 91 points: Rich and flavorful wine with nose of yeast and lemon. Full body with oak flavor but surprisingly low alcohol. Served with grilled shrimp. (2524 views) | | | Tasted by nospeel on 10/1/2012 & rated 82 points: A hit of sulphur on the nose - rather surprising. Was expecting a more buttery / oaked style - did not get this (my wife loves this style - not for me though).. Some pear and apple on the nose. Rather weak finish.

| Mount Eden Vineyards Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
